"[LOCAL GOVERNMENT DISTRIBUTIONS]
Section 316.
(a) There is appropriated from the general fund to the office of state lands and investments fifty-three million three hundred thirty-three thousand three hundred thirty-three dollars ($53,333,333.00) to be distributed to cities and towns in two (2) equal distributions on October 1, 2006 and on October 1, 2007, subject to the following:
(i) From these distributions each city or town with a population of thirty-five (35) or less shall first receive five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) and each city or town with a population over thirty-five (35) shall first receive ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). From the remainder each city and town shall receive amounts in accordance with a municipal supplemental funding formula as provided in this paragraph with each city or town receiving amounts in the proportion which the adjusted population of the city or town bears to the adjusted population of all cities and towns in Wyoming. The municipal supplemental funding formula shall be calculated by the state treasurer as follows:
(A) Calculate the per capita distribution of sales and use tax revenues for the preceding fiscal year to each county, including distributions to each city and town within that county, under W.S. 39‑15‑111 and 39‑16‑111, but excluding the distribution exclusively to counties under W.S. 39‑15‑111(b)(iii) made from an amount equivalent to one percent (1%) of the tax collected under W.S. 39‑15‑104, and excluding the distribution exclusively to counties under W.S. 39‑16‑111(b)(iii) made from an amount equivalent to one percent (1%) of the tax collected under W.S. 39‑16‑104;
(B) Arrange the counties in ascending order by the per capita distribution calculated;
(C) Following the arrangement of counties in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, list the population of each city and town within the county;
(D) Apply the appropriate adjustment factor determined in subdivisions (I) through (V) of this subparagraph for a county to each city and town within that county:
(I) Beginning with the county with the lowest per capita distribution, an adjustment factor of one and one-half (1.5) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a lower per capita distribution is within the lowest tenth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county by one hundred fifty percent (150%);
(II) An adjustment factor determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the county with the next higher per capita distribution not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (I) of this subparagraph. The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one hundred fifty percent (150%) that portion of the incorporated population of that county which is within the lowest tenth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) the incorporated population of that county which is within the lowest twentieth percentile and at or above the tenth percentile;
(3) If applicable, multiplying by one hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that county which is at or above the twentieth percentile;
(4) Dividing the sum of the products of subdivisions (II)(1) through (3) of this subparagraph by the incorporated population of that county.
(III) If an adjustment factor has not been applied under subdivision (I) or (II) of this subparagraph, an adjustment factor of one and one-quarter (1.25) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a lower per capita distribution does not exceed the twentieth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%);
(IV) An adjustment factor determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the next higher listed county not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (III) of this subparagraph. The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) that portion of the incorporated population of that county which is within the lowest twentieth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that county which is at or above the lowest twentieth percentile;
(3) Dividing the sum of the products of subdivisions (IV)(1) and (2) of this subparagraph by the incorporated population of that county.
(V) An adjustment factor of one (1) shall be applied to the remaining counties.
(E) Distribute the remainder of the revenues under this paragraph on a per capita basis using the total adjusted population for all cities and towns and the adjusted population for each city or town as calculated under subparagraph (D) of this paragraph;
(F) As used in this paragraph:
(I) A county's "incorporated population" means the population of all cities and towns within the county;
(II) "Percentile" means that portion of the incorporated population as listed in the arrangement of cities and towns under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph.
(b) There is appropriated from the general fund to the office of state lands and investments twenty-six million six hundred sixty-six thousand six hundred sixty-seven dollars ($26,666,667.00) to be distributed to counties in two (2) equal distributions on October 1, 2006 and on October 1, 2007. From these distributions each county shall receive the following:
(i) An equal share of fifteen percent (15%) of the total amount to be distributed; and
(ii) Of the remaining eighty-five percent (85%), an amount to be distributed to each county in the proportion each county's population bears to the total population of the state.
(c) For purposes of this section, population is to be determined by resort to the latest federal census as updated by the bureau of the census.
(d) The office of state lands and investments shall present in its standard budget request for the 2009-2010 biennium a request for at least thirty-one million five hundred thousand dollars ($31,500,000.00) for cities and towns and at least thirteen million five hundred thousand dollars ($13,500,000.00) for counties to be distributed as provided in this section.
(e) Any monies appropriated by this section remaining unexpended or unobligated on June 30, 2008 shall revert to the general fund.

(B) Arrange the counties in ascending order by the per capita distribution calculated;
(C) Following the arrangement of counties in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, list the population of each city and town within the county;
(D) Apply the appropriate adjustment factor determined in subdivisions (I) through (V) of this subparagraph for a county to each city and town within that county:
(I) Beginning with the county with the lowest per capita distribution, an adjustment factor of one and one-half (1.5) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a lower per capita distribution is within the lowest tenth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county by one hundred fifty percent (150%);
(II) An adjustment factor determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the county with the next higher per capita distribution not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (I) of this subparagraph. The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:

(3) If applicable, multiplying by one hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that county which is at or above the twentieth percentile;
(4) Dividing the sum of the products of subdivisions (II)(1) through (3) of this subparagraph by the incorporated population of that county.
(III) If an adjustment factor has not been applied under subdivision (I) or (II) of this subparagraph, an adjustment factor of one and one-quarter (1.25) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a lower per capita distribution does not exceed the twentieth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%);
(IV) An adjustment factor determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the next higher listed county not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (III) of this subparagraph. The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) that portion of the incorporated population of that county which is within the lowest twentieth percentile;

(V) An adjustment factor of one (1) shall be applied to the remaining counties.
(E) From the adjusted population of a city or town as calculated in subparagraphs (A) through (D) of this paragraph, subtract the actual population of the city or town to determine the resulting population adjustment. Distribute the funding under this paragraph in the proportion which the population adjustment of the city or town bears to the population adjustments of all cities and towns in Wyoming as calculated under subparagraph (D) of this paragraph;
(F) As used in this paragraph:
(I) A county's "incorporated population" means the population of all cities and towns within the county;
(II) "Percentile" means that portion of the incorporated population as listed in the arrangement of cities and towns under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph.

(C) The product of the county population from five thousand one (5,001) to twenty-five thousand (25,000) multiplied by one hundred twenty dollars ($120.00); plus
(D) The product of the county population above twenty-five thousand (25,000) multiplied by eighty dollars ($80.00).
(iii) Calculate the property tax shortfall for each county by subtracting the property tax available as determined by paragraph (i) of this subsection from the county funding need as determined by paragraph (ii) of this subsection.

(i) From these distributions each city or town with a population of thirty-five (35) or less shall first receive five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) and each city or town with a population over thirty-five (35) shall first receive ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00). From the remainder each city and town shall receive amounts in accordance with a municipal supplemental funding formula as provided in this paragraph with each city or town receiving amounts in the proportion which the adjusted population of the city or town bears to the adjusted population of all cities and towns in Wyoming. The municipal supplemental funding formula shall be calculated by the state treasurer as follows:
(A) Calculate the per capita distribution of sales and use tax revenues for the preceding fiscal year to each county, including distributions to each city and town within that county, under W.S. 39‑15‑111 and 39‑16‑111, but excluding the distribution exclusively to counties under W.S. 39‑15‑111(b)(iii) made from an amount equivalent to one percent (1%) of the tax collected under W.S. 39‑15‑104, and excluding the distribution exclusively to counties under W.S. 39‑16‑111(b)(iii) made from an amount equivalent to one percent (1%) of the tax collected under W.S. 39‑16‑104;

(I) Beginning with the county with the lowest per capita distribution, an adjustment factor of one and one-half (1.5) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a lower per capita distribution is within the lowest tenth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county by one hundred fifty percent (150%);
(II) An adjustment factor determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the county with the next higher per capita distribution not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (I) of this subparagraph. The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:
(1) Multiplying by one hundred fifty percent (150%) that portion of the incorporated population of that county which is within the lowest tenth percentile;
(2) Multiplying by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) the incorporated population of that county which is within the lowest twentieth percentile and at or above the tenth percentile;
(3) If applicable, multiplying by one hundred percent (100%) the incorporated population of that county which is at or above the twentieth percentile;
(4) Dividing the sum of the products of subdivisions (II)(1) through (3) of this subparagraph by the incorporated population of that county.
(III) If an adjustment factor has not been applied under subdivision (I) or (II) of this subparagraph, an adjustment factor of one and one-quarter (1.25) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a lower per capita distribution does not exceed the twentieth percentile. The adjustment factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%);
(IV) An adjustment factor determined under this subdivision shall be applied to the next higher listed county not qualifying for the adjustment factor under subdivision (III) of this subparagraph. The adjustment factor for this county shall be determined by:

(3) Dividing the sum of the products of subdivisions (IV)(1) and (2) of this subparagraph by the incorporated population of that county.
(V) An adjustment factor of one (1) shall be applied to the remaining counties.
(E) Distribute the remainder of the revenues under this paragraph on a per capita basis using the total adjusted population for all cities and towns and the adjusted population for each city or town as calculated under subparagraph (D) of this paragraph;
(F) As used in this paragraph:
(I) A county's "incorporated population" means the population of all cities and towns within the county;
(II) "Percentile" means that portion of the incorporated population as listed in the arrangement of cities and towns under subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph.
(b) There is appropriated from the general fund to the office of state lands and investments twenty-six million six hundred sixty-six thousand six hundred sixty-seven dollars ($26,666,667.00) to be distributed to counties in two (2) equal distributions on August 15, 2006 and on August 15, 2007. From these distributions each county shall receive the following:
